The Memories Mall on the road |
| Just prior to the launch of this site we set up at Granny McCormick's Yard in Warrenton, TX for the Texas Antique Weekend. We thought we'd share some of the photos we took at this mammoth event. |
|
Our regular trips to Boerne Market Days have been great fun and we've made some good friends.

The good people at the Burnet Chamber of Commerce host the Annual Bluebonnet Festival in April and RailFair in June each year, along with other events. Although the weather doesn't always cooperate, Tammy Stephens is always around to make sure we're doing OK. |
 We'd
like to thank Cindy and Fred Cates of Tisket A Tasket
for hosting us at Rockdale Market Days. Four times a year we join
the people of Milam County for food and fun. Cindy's shop is full
of wonderful decorative items and the fudge is great. Give her a call
at 512-446-0649. |
| Seguin's Main Street Program sponsors Market Days the last Saturday of March, April, Septermber and October each year. It's a great way to spend the day shopping, sampling the food and listening to live music. |

 The
first annual Cruise 'n' Blues Festival, sponsored by the Oak
Hill Association of Neighborhoods was held in October of 2004.
The volunteers overcame 3 inches of rain and high winds the night
before the event to make it a great success. Every year the live music
and dozens of street rods, hot rods and classic cars make for a great
family outing. Check out the photos from the 2006
Cruise N Blues Festival. |

Here are photos of the cars on display and the many contestants at the first of what we hope will be an annual event. |
 Several
times over last 2 years, Sue and I set up at Fredericksburg
Trade Days. For a relaxed atmosphere you can't beat Trade
Days. Visit the Biergarten for a cool refreshment while you shop. |
 In
August 2003, The Memories Mall went to the Gillespie
County Fair. There's a lot to see and do at the fair, horse
racing, good food, carnival rides and plenty of bargains from the
many vendors. |
 In
2004 we joined our friends in Round Rock for the 40th anniversary
of Frontier
Days on July 3rd & 4th. Food, fun and fireworks at Old
Settlers Park on Hwy 79. Go see what all the "Yeehaws!"
are all about at Texas' best old west celebration. |
 For
a little Texas history mixed in with the food and entertainment, you
can't beat the Come and Take
It Festival in Gonzales. |
 Throughout
the year we'll be setting up at the Saxet
Gun Show in Austin. This two day event draws hunters and collectors
from all over Saxet, er.. I mean Texas. |
|
The 2006 STCC car show was a good way to start the new year. I saw friends from last year and met some new people. All in all, I can't think of a better way to spend the weekend. Memorial Day 2006 saw another great show by the folks from STCC. This event was held at the Audie Murphy VA Hospital in San Antonio and brought out well over 100 cars of all types. |
|
The 2006 Luckenbach Car Show began with a few hours of rain, but several great cars, trucks and motorcycles turned out anyway. |
|
We can't wait for next year's show! |
 One
of the best annual events for street rods in the US is the Key
to the Hills Rod Run in Boerne, Texas. The Pride of Texas
Street Rods club hosts this 3 day gathering that brings people from
all over the country. Check out a few of the 500 cars from the 2006
rod run. |

The
small town of Blanco, Texas has done a terrific job of refurbishing
the historic courthouse. The Old Blanco County Courthouse Preservation
Society uses the vendor fees from the monthly market days to fund
the restoration. Although the county seat has moved, this structure
has a special meaning to the people of Blanco.
